Abstract:
Introduction-The classical definition of the word AYU given by Acharya Charak is,’ well
combined form of Sharir-Mana-Indriya and Chaitanya (Atma). Discussion-Indriya is included
within Mana and Atma is Nirvikara -means free from transformation like Roga- Arogya,
Kshaya- vruddhi etc. hence in living human being Sharir and Mana are basically considered
as seat of Roga and Arogya (disease and health).Thus, both disease and health are
considered in to two; 1) Sharirika(physiological)and 2) Manasika(psychological)1Conclusion-
Both Sharir and Mana are inter reactive and inter dependant though Mana is superior to the
Sharir.
